I'm thinking that was elegy's point.

I used to get conflicted when at the farmer's market here. I wanted to
support the farmers and buy the local (reatively) produce, but I
wasn't thrilled about supporting the Amish (primarily because of their
animal husbandry dealie).

Whoa. Way to tar with a very wide brush. I'd venture to say that
many/most Amish in the U.S. do not own mass dog breeding facilities, and
have excellent animal husbandry skills. I live in Missouri,

I live in NY. The farmer's markets I would be
buying from are also from this area.

In this area, they are known for milling.

I should have added the word "local" in front
of the word "amish" but I assumed that was
clear given the context of a local market.


I believe the
term for doing so is called racism.

And given that I was speaking in lovcal
terms, this is called being overdramatic.
